Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi guys i just wanted some help and info on delimiting and tunning! i have a N/A auto but have read up on here that they are not worth doing up and i should just to TT can anyone shed some light? Secondly i ve also read up that delimiting the car doesnt actually de limit the car but just sends some sort of signal and the car does not actuallt reach a higer speed again can anyone shed some light at what is the best option??

Dnk Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Waste of money tuning the NA in NA form, you'll throw £100's at it to get very little gain A TT is easily tunable to 400 odd hp and will come with a geabox etc that can cope with around 500 if you fancy a bit more and fit a small single to it.

Noz Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 NA engine can be turbo'ed but for the cost you might as well swap for a TT engine or sell your car and buy a TT in the first place. Going for power in an NA is a very expensive, and lengthy process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 In cash terms, it's much better to get a TT or drop a TT lump in. Getting power from an n/a engine is very pricey. All a delimiter does is modify the signal from the speed sensor to the ECU so it maxes out at 180mph a stead of 180kph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yh i know that about the delimiter thats what i am asking how can i de limit it properly to do more than 180mph?? or am i thinking wrong here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You won't ever get to 180mph so what's the problem? And if you had enough power to get that fast you would have changed the ECU anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You best just flog it and go get a decent hp single as your na's never going to push the needle that far, a bpu tt is going to need a lot of rd to get to 180mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ok sounds good! My idea was to fit a decent induction kit and exhaust system and give it a bpu and leave the car as my daily run around!! Then get myself a 6 speed manual TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get myself a 6 speed manual TT Be a good car as daily just dont throw money at it, induction kit is not worth doing, i'd just fit an exhaust possibly but be carefull you dont make it stupidly loud. De catting them seems to do this so personally i wouldnt go there. If i had one as a daily i'd leave it totally stock and put the funds to modding the 6 speed tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 well when i bought it the person had already changed the wheels and there are a few scratches inside on the dash and leather other than that the cars immaculate!! so i am going to have the dash done in carbon fibre to look all nice a new and have the colour changed as i am not a massive fan of silver!! also it has 60k on the clock so i think it worth keeping for a while or till the TT is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be hard pushed to get it to 155mph. Ok sounds good! My idea was to fit a decent induction kit and exhaust system and give it a bpu and leave the car as my daily run around!! Then get myself a 6 speed manual TT You can't technically 'BPU' an N/A as this is a term given to the TTs to see an extra 80-100bhp, you will be lucky to see an extra 10bhp in an N/A.

Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ah ok thanks for that marc!! i guess i ll leave that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ah ok thanks for that marc!! i guess i ll leave that out! TBH, the N/A is fine as it is, I used to have one(actually, I still have another one sat here) and I find them fun to drive, I'll admit I prefer them with a manual box but even in Auto form there a good comfy car with a bit of poke.

Guest suprasteven Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yep very true i have always preffered manual! but to be honest out of all the auto cars i have driven i am def going to say that the supra has been the best and fastest!

Tyson Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I had a Seat Cupra before it did 145mph on the motorway easy!! but i had that done up to the max!! This is a public forum mate and comments like that can get you into trouble if the wrong people read it. Instead of mph we like to use leptons which may or may not be equivelant to mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Remember the lepton to mph handy converter chart: 10 leptons = 10 mph 30 leptons = 30 mph 55 leptons = 55 mph 70 leptons = 70 mph 90 leptons = 70 mph 120 leptons = 70 mph 150 leptons = 70 mph That's my story and I'm sticking to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Are you sure you don't mean 180KPH? That's what stock J-Specs are limited to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
